Rattle
Rattle made with a cluster of dried seed shells strung with vegetable fiber cord, arranged in five pairs and one triple group, through a tubular piece of cane (one piece missing). The individual cords that strung each shell go through the cane pieces and are then all tied together at the top. A small strap of plaited cord extends from this knot.
